The best pick for privacy: Swiss-based, open source, a strong free plan, and hide-my-email aliases that keep your real address out of every sign-up. Younger than 1Password and Bitwarden.
What it is
Proton Pass comes from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN. Everything in the vault, including usernames and URLs, is end-to-end encrypted, and the apps are open source. The free plan includes unlimited logins and devices, passkeys, 2 vaults, sharing with 2 people and 10 hide-my-email aliases, so each site gets its own forwarding address. Pass Plus adds unlimited aliases, the built-in 2FA authenticator (free accounts can keep codes for only 3 items), Dark Web Monitoring, Emergency Access, file attachments and a CLI: $35.88 a year ($2.99 a month), with a first-year promotion at $23.88. Pass Family is $59.88 a year for 6 people. Apps for web, browsers, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. Not one of the four products in the 2026 ETH Zurich server-compromise study. Checked November 2026.
Best for
- Privacy-minded people
- Anyone who wants a separate email alias for every sign-up
- Proton Mail users
What we like
- Strong free plan: unlimited logins and devices plus 10 email aliases
- End-to-end encrypts metadata like usernames and URLs
- Open source, Swiss jurisdiction, family plan for 6
What to watch
- Built-in 2FA codes, item sharing and file attachments need Pass Plus
- Younger product with fewer import and admin options than 1Password
- Aliases are most useful if you already live in the Proton ecosystem
